A Reddit user that goes by the name Coppin-it-washin-it shared this beautiful story with other Redditors, and it quickly went viral.

For 31 years, his parents spent every wedding anniversary at Red Lobster. When his dad died, his sister took his mom out for dinner on their anniversary at a Missouri location.

When they called for the bill, they instead received a note.

Here’s what the note reads:

We are sorry to hear about your husband’s passing, but we appreciate your loyalty in spending 31 years of your anniversary with us. For your appreciation your meal is on us! We look forward to spending your next anniversary with us!

Sincerely, Red Lobster + your server, Taylor

According to their son,

The waitress asked if there was a special occasion or if they were just hungry. My sister explained that my parents had been going there every year for their anniversary. The waitress then asked why my dad wasn’t there and they explained how he had passed away in March. She said she was sorry to hear that and then it was just a normal meal like any other after that. Until they got the bill.

I’m not sure about you, but after hearing this heartwarming story, I had tears in my eyes. Humanity isn’t so bad after all! More people need to hear this story. Share this beautiful gesture by Red Lobster with others below.
